Want Twenty Per Cent, Advance.

EvERsoN, Pa, February 23.-The coke
workers of the Connellsville region are
holding a mass meeting here to-day to
consider the answer ofthe operators to their
demand for ap advance in wages of 20 per
cent. The operators are willing to con-
cede them an advance of 5 per cent. and
no more. From the way the men are talk
ing there is no doubt but that o resolution
will be passed to stand firm for 20 per
cent advance. Nearly 5000 miners are
present at the meeting.
Contrary to expectation no decision was
reached. The officials of the Miners As
ISOLATION advocated the enforcement Of the
demands for an advancement OF 20 per
cennt., while the Knights of Labor lead
ers counselled moderation. They claimed
that the meeting was called with authority
from them. 1t was finally resolved TO sub
nit the question 10 n vote of the miners ut
the various works throughout the region.
The ballot will be taken on Monday, and
if it is decided TO strike the men will quit
work on Tuesday. The meeting was one
of the largest ever held in the coke re-
giOns.

A Large Prize Won by a Norfolk Club.

A Large Prize Won by n Norfolk Club.
Learning that one-tenth of ticket No.
81, 900, which drew the capital prize of
$3.50, 900 in the drawing Of the Louisiana
State Lottery on the 18th inst, had been
collected through the Marine Bank, a re-
porter of The Urginian determined to
find out whom tickle fortune had so favor
ed, and soon discovered that Capt. |. Cain,
of the steamer "BOnitO," was one of a
party to whom the ticket belonged. Cap
tain Cain was sought. but as his steamer
was in North Carolina, he could not be seen
until lat night at 5 o'clock, when his
boat arrived. At that hour the reporter
went to the wharf and asked for Captain
Cain, and was directed to the boat,
where he WAS found leaning out OF the
pilot house window directing the land
ing of his cargo. Upon asking a few ques-
tions it was learned that Captain Cain is
one of thirty residents of our city, who for
about two years nave contributed monthly
one dollar each to "a club for the purpose
of buying tickets i'll the Louisiana State
Lottery, and during this period several
prizes have been won, but o N over $500,
which amount has been drawn by them
three or four times. Just before the
drawing of the 18th inst. the club bought
tickets, and among them was the tenth
ticket numbered 81, 800. and on examining
the official list of numbers drawn, the club
discovered that they were the forum
ate winners of $4,000. They de-
posted the ticket in the Marine
Bank for collection, and on Thurs
day received their money. Captain Cain
said the club would still continue to pur-
chase tickets monthly, as before. Congratu.
lating the Captain on his fortune, and
thanking him for his information, the
reporter babe him good evening. Norfolk,

Made by Miss Kate Forsyth and Her En-
celcpt Company, Last Evening.
One of the most artistic performances
witnessed by q Wheeling audience this
season was given by Miss Kate Forsyth at
the Opera House last night. The play
was Faithful Hearts" adapted from the
French. Miss Forsyth needs no recon-
mendation to theatre.gosrs. She is cue of
the few actresses of the present time who
have had the benefit of careful training,
aud experience with the leading lights
of the stage. Her conception of the self
sacrificing Madeline" is pleasing to
every faculty and her d%elineation faultless.
The character is a trying one, every line
requiring power and pathos. Miss
Forsyth was frequently called before
the curtain. As Andre Defevre," Mr..
Frank LOsee was strong and manly. Mr..
Henry Holland plays as we'll as the airy
and witty poet, Joan Badel,' as also did
Mr.. J. n. Fitzpatrick as the vulgar mill
l~ionaire David Charuet." Miss Lila
Vane, who is a very pretty, dark-eyed lit
tie lady, Iuade a charming person out of
the milliOnaire's daughter, "Lucilla Char
uet.n Her love passages were rendered
very cutely. Miss Ethel G~reybrooke was
the gay, horse-racing' 'Pa9lette Auxpoix,"
was well received. The support through
out was excellent.
This afternoon Miss Forsyth will appear
as ''Parthenia" in ''Ingomar," which is
said to be one of her greatest roles. This
piece is an especially pleasing n for the
ladies. This evening the great comedy
drama "Marcelle" will be given, in which
Biiou Fernandez, the greatest child actor
on the stage, will appear in n boys char

THE GREAT REUNION.
A VERY IMPORTANT MEETING OF THE
GENERAL COMMITTEE
Held at the Chamber Of Commerce Rooms,
Last ~RvsDlng-Ts Business
Transacted.

There was a large gathering at the
Chamber of Commerce last night, of the
soldiers and citizens appointed upon the
various committees for the Reunion of the
Society of the Army Of West Virginia, and
many valuable suggestions were made.
After the organization of the meeting the
list of the various committees was read,
and on motion w. P. Hubbard, Esq,
was added to the Committee on Invitation.
On motion Of Mr.. c. b. Hart the first
named on each committee was selected rs
chairman, and later in the evening each
chairman was requested to call a meeting
of his committee at once if possible, so it
could proceed to work.
Assistant Adjutant General F. II. Crago,
of the G. A. R., mentioned that a hearty
response from the Grand Army Posts was
being received relative TO the Reunion.
1t was suggested to the Committee on
Printing to print 100, 900 envelopes for
merchants and Others, having their cards
in front, and on the back an advertise
ment of the Reunion, the envelopes to be
sold at cost, and to be used in regular cor
re~spondence.
A letter from the Trades Assembly was
read, announcing the appointment of their
committee in a few days. A Committee
on Halls and Headquarters, and another
Committee to be called a Committee of
Public Comfort, to whom all hotels,
boarding houses and private parties can
report as to the kind and price
of accommodations, and which Committee
will have IN charge all matters concern
ing the comfort of strangers and visitors,
were adopted.
The Reception Committee was ordered
to be ~doubled-this addition as we'll as the
appointment of the other two Committees,
will be made by the Executive Committee,
and the list thereof as well as a complete
list of all Committees furnished to the
press as early as possible by the Secretary.
Considerable discussion as to the best
day for having the Trades Display process
sion was had, many favoring the third in
stead of the fourth day of the Reunion,
and as to this the opinion of the merchants
and manufacturers is solicited before the
programme is finally announced. There
must now be active work on the part of all
the committees, and they cannot begin any
too soon, for it is an immense undertaking
to provide for the reception and entertain
ment of 40, 000or $4,000 strangers, alarger
population than our city contains, people
who will come here to see and be seen and
spend perhaps a quarter of a million dol
lars amongst us in the four days of the re-
union. No one will spend much less than
S., many will treble that sum, and it is
easy to calculate in that way what $4,000
people will spend. A little work OIL the
part of every one will secure even a larger
need of success financially than we indi-
cate.
